The Tor Vergata Polyclinic, located in Rome, is an imposing hospital complex, which covers an area of about 140,000 square meters and consists of a central body of four levels with horizontal development and two towers of eleven levels.
The facility hosts 1,700 employees and thousands of patients and visitors every day.

In order to comply with the need for 30% increase in consumption efficiency in 3 years, CPL has chosen to install a system at the Polyclinic that guarantees, in addition to a high level of Cost savings, the possibility of Increase maintenance performance on mechanical systems by verifying the status of the equipment in real time, and to have a Efficient management of environmental comfort, through the control of all Technological systems used for energy production, distribution and monitoring of environmental conditions.

The project implemented by CPL involved the installation of a hardware and software architecture, based on the Niagara N4 framework, for the intelligent management of the building with a single central server, located in the Control Room of the Polyclinic, which allows the centralization of data from individual controllers. The system provides for an integrated management of all the equipment that deals with the production and distribution of thermal and cooling energy and a monitoring of environmental data (temperature and humidity). The system is perfectly expandable both within the single automation and acquisition panel and centrally, allowing the implementation of useful functions for the BEMS system. The use of standard protocols for Building Automation, such as BACnet® IP, Modbus TCP, Meter Bus, allows integration with data from different controllers and suppliers and it is possible to export data from the remote control system to other Artificial Intelligence systems or Information Systems with open databases.
Through this project, CPL has made it possible for the Polyclinic to have a unique management of the refrigeration unit, central heating system (hot and superheated water), Cogeneration power plant, as well as the control of more than 120 air handling units for environments such as hospitals and common areas and all Sub-stations for distribution of heating, cooling, steam, superheated water and domestic hot water lines. The results obtained and the consumption trends are easily verifiable thanks to the integration of thermal energy meters, cooling energy, hot water lines, steam, monitoring of electricity consumption of cabins and refrigeration units. Finally, it is essential to have access to the historicization and archiving of the trends of the quantities useful for evaluating the performance or efficiency of the plant.

The Building Energy Management System (BEMS) has allowed the energy production and distribution system to be adapted to demand, performing measurement, monitoring, diagnostics and control functions in order to achieve the levels of energy performance and expected savings envisaged in the project under certain environmental conditions.
The constant analysis of data (continuous commissioning) of energy and plant systems through the use of automation and control systems has proved to be a necessary activity. The project has led to significant savings in the gas and electricity sectors.
